Learning Curves: Water Policy and Related Operations

Abstract

This special evaluation study assesses the implementation of ADB’s water policy and the performance of related operations, identifies lessons and issues, and makes recommendations to inform future decision making on water sector operations in ADB’s developing member countries. Key evaluation questions focus on relevance, consistency, and adequacy of the water policy; ADB’s responsiveness or how it implemented the policy; and results so far, including effectiveness in achieving outputs and outcomes, process and project efficiency in resource use, and likelihood of the sustainability of net benefits.
